Grumpy

"Well then, if that's the case, then I shouldn't hesitate to do it," said James. He became increasingly sure to respond and attack the place his subordinates had coordinated.

The noise was so loud, that there was hardly any sound other than the noise of the equipment belonging to James's subordinate. They all seemed too busy with their business and had arrived at the place believed to be the gathering place for the people who terrorized Selena.

"Quickly surround this place, don't leave any gaps for them to escape. Take care of the roof too. And make sure they don't escape through the underground too."

If put together like this, perhaps the formation would be enough to destroy a defense area belonging to the state military force. James owns a security power that is quite terrible that.

"Don't let anything be left, make them regret what they've done."

James's subordinates immediately broke into the hiding place of the person who had sent messages of terror to Selena. It was a warehouse similar to a meat grinding barn, a shabby place, and the warehouse walls were made of scrap material. When viewed from afar, the place would not be used as an important place, but upon approaching it, it was seen that there was some sophisticated equipment.

"As I thought, drag them out of this place!"

The leader of James' security forces ordered his subordinates to drag the criminals out of their hiding places. But there's a little bit of confusion. They don't look like a bunch of baddies. They look like a bunch of geeky office workers and are not scary at all.

"Quickly take a picture of their face and send it to the investigation team. They will be able to find the identity of this pathetic creature."

The camera flash blinded the eyes of the criminals who had been tied up and caught there. They were helpless when James's subordinates took their photo and sent it to James' other aides.

"Don't take these geeks to the police station first. We have to determine who is responsible for all this. The police station is just a formality. Even punishments from the city are more effective than punishments from them."

Not long after, they finally got information about the people they had arrested.

"What?" shouted the leader of James's underlings. "So they're just gamblers? Speak the truth, don't make it up. What can they do? They're just gamblers!"

"Sorry, Sir, but this is their original data. They are gambling bones that are in debt. It just so happens that they are graduates from a technology department at a university. Therefore they have expertise in technology."

"That's right, Mr. Mike. They are not the real culprits. There are still people above them," said the man's subordinate.

The man named Mike gripped the collar of the bad guys' messengers tightly. He didn't want to beat around the bush or negotiate with people who had caused them trouble. With violence, Mike forced them all to tell the truth about the person who had told them to terrorize Selena.

"We... We don't know. The person who told us to do that contacted us anonymously. Even the payments were made using bitcoin currency. We don't have much access to know that person's identity," said one of the people arrested by Mike's colleague.

"Oh! Then what's the use of your knowledge as tech-savvy people?! You bastards! Quickly use your PC and show me the anonymous information?"

Mike's screams were so loud, that he didn't mess with his words. He didn't want to budge and let the terrorists get away with it even though they would go to jail after this. What's the point of 1-2 years imprisonment? According to Mike, it will not provide any deterrent effect.

Mike immediately dragged the terrorists into the meat grinder warehouse. On the outside it looked like that, but inside there were many PCs neatly arranged with views of messy cables. They have hidden their work from the public. It seems that this is not a profession that is done once in a while or can be said to have become a habit.

"We only receive payments from people who contact us. Our clients rarely come here directly. To maintain the confidentiality of information, they only contact us from dark websites," said one of the people arrested by Mike.

"I don't care about that. Before you guys can show me the information about cooperation between you and that bastard, then I won't let you go. I could even beat you to the point of being crippled if you don't carry orders!!!"

The atmosphere was getting heated and uncomfortable, but that's how the dirty wage earners deserved it. They've been working with the wrong people.

Tens of minutes passed, but there was no desired result other than the sound of typing on the PC keyboard and the PC screen repeatedly showing website access errors. Some parts are too deep to go into on a dark web website. They are very clever people who are good at using the website.

"Access denied."

"Access denied."

"Access denied."

"This isn't something we can achieve with our abilities and knowledge, Sir. It's already here---"

BUGH

BUGH

BUGH

"You want to embarrass me in front of Mr. James, huh?! Humans have no dignity!!!"

BUGH

BUGH

The blows kept hitting the poor people's faces until they passed out. Their physique was not made to fight. Fighting Mike, who had been a member of the military, was one of the most painful ways to die.

"Mr. Mike, I don't mean to be presumptuous to you. But we'd better tell Mr. James immediately so that these geeks can be punished and this brief information can be searched more deeply by Mr. James' information team," suggested one of Mike's other partners. Yeah, that's more useful than beating those idiots to death.

"Okay, that's good advice. Get this mess sorted out immediately, but don't ever touch the PC still on. I'm sure Mr. James agrees with my suggestion," said Mike.

The mysterious man's orders were taken to the police station, while James soon received information from Mike about the not-so-successful and not-so-successful ambush.
